Fun, lovable, well worth it

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2005
Review: I've owned my Sentra for over a year now, and I absolutely love it! Not only is it attractive, but its gas mileage is impeccable. A great starter car.

201,000 miles and still going strong

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2007
Review: I bought my Nissan Sentra brand new in '97, without any clues to about its reputation. I was attracted by the price and it was cute.

This car has proven to be a great investment! I have driven back and forth from MD to NJ. I have driven to...

Mediocre car

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a car for one person to drive and not haul the kids around it is a perfect driving car. Also check for deals.
Review: I like the Nissan Sentra XE, I have never been left on the side of the road with an engine malfunction, but sometimes I am prone to flat tires on my front passenger side. I get good gas milleage, which is good becasue I drive it about 150 miles a...

Usability of 1997 Nissan Sentra

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 1999
Review: I recently bought a 1997 Nissan Sentra. It is for my wife who must drive about 120 miles everyday, on the highway. I did a lot of research on this car before I bought it, using a wide variety of web sites, consumer reports magazine, and...

Tin Can with great mileage

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 1999
Review: I had owned an 87 nissan sentra for five years and had absolutely loved the vehice. In fact, my brother also owned one, and both of my parents drove Nissan Maximas. The thing that struck me about the car was the fact that it was one of the least...

sentra is sensational!

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2000
Review: The nissan sentra is a great car. I currently own a sentra and I love the way it has held up. It has good features, and hasn't had any problems. It starts every time and has a pretty smooth ride for a low end car. It also has a good stereo with a...

Good car for the price

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2000
Review: I currently drive around in a '97 Nissan Sentra GXE. I'd be lying if I said it was the greatest car I've ever driven, but it's definately not bad.

It seats 4 people comfortably. The front two seats provide plenty of leg and head room (for...

Wonderful first car :)

Date of Review:  May 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: Gives you more bang for your buck. Nissans run great up to 300,000 miles too.
Review: I bought my sentra used through a private party in Sept. of 2000. What a buy! I bought it for $5300 with 90,000 miles on it. I've put on 25,000 since then and have been to the shop about 6 times for various things, expected for a car with so many...

Easily the winner in this class

Date of Review:  May 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: This car is recommended to anyone, it's economical, getting about 40 mpg but it's got features you'd expect from higher end cars, like power windows/locks, and A/C and they're standard.
Review: I purchased my 1997 Nissan Sentra in May of 2001 with 46,600 miles. It's a GXE with a five speed, power windows, locks, mirrors, CD player, and air conditioning. After having this car for two and a half years, and putting about 70,000 miles on it, I...

A very reliable and economical used car choice

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable and inexpensive option.
Review: I bought my 1997 Sentra GXE because of the recent upswing in gas prices and I needed something for commuting to work. I have been very impressed with the quality of this car. It has 118,000 miles on it and it has had no major repair work. The...
